Currently nearly all turnover is going back into advertising, we have placed three big arsed features in local papers, are running constant smaller print ads, radio advertising and have hand delivered about 600 flyers in the local area, with more deliveries ongoing.

The song says "one night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble", I think you need to "myth proved" the song.
Just try before you buy, or you might be banging kok......hell, maybe its what you want, I'm not King Brian, who tells you what he thinks is right or wrong, and that you must live by HIS rules.
You only get one life, and as you get older, it gets bloody shorter. Thats why I got a bike, now, at my age. Hell Im still 17 on the inside.

A google for "makeup wanganui" or "nails wanganui" brings up the site as first listing, and its those people we specifically want. Personally I believe fighting for a higher ranking in generic sercahes for just the term word "nails" or "makeup" would be madness.

That aside, all the marketing makes mention of the website, and about half of it specifically points people to it, In that regards its doing very well and the website has already paid for itself tenfold. Though that's because the hosting is $50 a year and I built it with Frontpage. Lmfao.

I would buy happiness.
$140/hr or $300/hr for the really good stuff.

Or a garage full of bikes. Yeah that sounds better.

Lmao, why do I feel like I have just been dismissed?

Anyhow, I respect what you have to say, and the logic behind it, and if we were in a larger center and getting outranked by our rivals it would be an area I'd concentrate on.

LOL!!!! Didn't mean it that way attall, attall! No I was genuinely appreciating your efforts and that you knew what you were doing there. Certainly if you do need anything more, we'd be happy to advise. Once again, congrats on the graphic design, it looks classy!

Well, when this one http://jurgensdemolition.co.nz comes up for renewal I'll most probably hand it over to your services as I am no longer involved with the company.

Initially it will just need hosting, But they will probably want to revamp it in the future. And occasionally need re-assurance that the site is still there and that the emails are working.
